The first name 
Leocadia

Leocadia is a first name for girls.

Leocadia – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Leocadia has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Leocadia. That means that a girl named Leocadia is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Leocadia.

Leocadia -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Leocadia in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 263 women and girls named Leocadia, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 263 women and girls named Leocadia live in no more than 7 different states, including for example Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. In all other 42 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Leocadia. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Leocadia lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Leocadia and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Leocadia relative to its female population is Michigan. And even there, only one in 64,871 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Leocadia.

Leocadia has 8 letters 
and begins with an L

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.

In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

That means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
